Not sure why so many people, not just on this forum but on many others as well, including German ones, are so keen for this cartridge to fail. If a manufacturer brings out another different cartridge then great, it's another choice and something for us all to talk about. I generally have no interest in many of the new cartridges preferring the classics but if others want to buy them, good on them. All those classic cartridges that we love came out within about a 25 year time frame of each other, many of them within about 5 years, so does that make them shit because they were developed close together. No it doesn't. That 10.3x68 has many classic features about it anyway. 68mm length, 10.3 projectile and a 0.532" head size (From the 375 H&H,the most classic of them all) I hope it does well, it would be great to see one in the new M98 Mauser. I the bullets are a 0.416" then I will seriously consider building a rifle with that cartridge for our Sambar deer, it would be fantastic.
